What personal data do we gather, for which purposes and on which grounds?
The personal data we gather from you as our customer helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at our website : We use mainly your email address to send you newsletters via the third party called MailChimp (TinyLetter). That’ all.
How secure is information about me?
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures in such a manner that all processing of your personal data will meet the requirements by law and ensure the protection of your rights. However such protection can unfortunately not be guaranteed, as no system available is one hundred percent safe. We work to protect the security of your personal data during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information and the personal data you input. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personal data. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you. It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer, and to not use the “Keep me logged in on this device” login feature in this case.
Our computers are safeguarded by long and complex passwords. Our servers are physically situated in France and serviced by a French company. Our physical office can only be entered by authorized personnel. Visitors can only enter the building that our office is situated in, after being given access by authorized personnel.
Your privacy is of continuous importance to us, meaning we will evaluate our privacy policy frequently and are open to improvement and discussions.
Do we share the information we receive?
Information about our customers and their personal data is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We keep your email address to send you news via a third partyr Tinyletter (MailChimp).
- Third-party service provider (Mailchimp/tinyletter) is the only third party provider we may use.
